Abdul Traya, age 16, of Calgary, Canada, receives a threatening letter from the legal representation of Apple Computer, Fenwick & West LLP. The letter demands that that the teenager turn over his Internet domain, www.appleimac.com, without making any offer of compensation. Traya decides to keep the domain, which he had registered in July 1998 to draw attention to the web-hosting business that he was running out of his parent’s basement, WestNet. Westnet is the first Canadian host to offer city-wide WiFi access. The threat makes news when Reuters reports the story, and it subsequently draws an enormous amount of media coverage. In April, the matter will be settled out of court when Apple pays Traya’s legal fees and an additional “token payment” in exchange for the domain.
